Does it change your mind if the Packers ends up as NFC Champs or Super Bowl champs?

For me, it doesn't, because this was a spectacular meltdown, especially on defense, one of the worst in team history. If this had been an ultra close game, and then the Pack wins in OT, and goes on to be NFC Champs, I would say, "Okay, we came up a little short against a great team." But our defense looked like wax figures in a coal furnace. They started the game with two great plays in which they stuffed the run, then it was meltdown time after that. They looked like a team of preseason scrubs playing against the greatest team in history. They didn't look like they belonged on the same field. The offense had its share of mistakes, but I don't think they completely disappeared. The defense did. Our defense looked like it couldn't have stopped a team from Hill College (if they've even got a team).

I hope no fan is ridiculous enough to blame this one on Dak. He made some bad plays, yes, but he also hung in there and made several good plays. I wouldn't say he disappeared, but I would say that about the defense. I can't think of a worse defensive performance by a Cowboys team. Maybe the 1985 collapse versus the Bears was worse. It's hard to say. This was a nightmare.

Before the game, I was watching science documentaries on a streaming channel. Makes me wish I had kept watching that.

No, for me it would be more fuel to the fire of dumping Dak and going with the younger QB and firing McCarthy. Dumping the old QB and during Bug Mike seemed to work out well for Green Bay. Let’s copy them.

I will root for them tho. Anyone but the 49ers. If it comes to Green Bay or SF I’m going for Green Bay all the way.

A beat down is a beatdown whether by a bully or the bully's bully.
Not on Dak?
What other player had 2 big TOs?
He's a big part of our swoon.

No Dallas has the better roster. Every GB fan I know was like hoping they could just keep the score respectable. They had no faith in that team. They got bullied by a 9-8 team that barely made playoffs and lost to the giants and Bucs less than a month ago. Dallas just choked.

No, not one bit. If this didn't happen every year then I could make an exception.

No

Even Jerry got a hard slap in the face
Hopefully major changes coming.

It would be vindicating if it was a close game and the Packers ran the table. However, this one was a blowout and in my opinion a 4-5 score loss. It would be no consolation. As far as I'm concerned, let the Ravens win a soupy this year.
